Ted Myers (rhythm guitar, vocals), following the disbandment of garage rock band the Lost in early 1967, ventured to New York City.
[2] The band, named Chamaeleon Church in reference to Scheuren's song "Camilla Is Changing", toured briefly in New York City before commuting to various studios, rehearsing for their debut album.
As a consequence, band members later renounced the majority of the songs on Chamaeleon Church, claiming Lorber's soft rock influences compromised the end result.
[4] Following the distribution of the album, Chamaeleon Church toured in Boston and appeared on the ABC television special Preview hosted by actor Adam West.
Scheuren was also on two Grammy-nominated Lampoon records with Chase, The Missing White House Tapes and Goodbye Pop, which featured his Neil Young parody, "Southern California Brings Me Down".
